SpaceX conducted another successful Starship launch test yesterday evening.

You can watch the full, 1:40:00 footage here:

Invidious YouTube

I'd recommend watching it, it's a well-done video documentary, not too long, with good views.

One vacuum engine went out on starship but the 3 sea level engines gimbaled to compensate and continue on to released all 22 starlink simulators, then land vertical in the ocean as if at the tower.

Also, they had to 'glide' in upper atmosphere for additional ~60s to hit the landing zone. I think they almost ran out of fuel due to engine failure
